The Staten Island strip club where three New Jersey cops and a pal were partying before a fatal wrong-way crash has been off-limits to NYPD officers for years, sources told The Post on Sunday.
Curves Gentleman's Club in Charleston is one of several hot spots on the NYPD's list of "corruption-prone locations," meaning it's home to some type of shady activity that the department wants cops to stay away from even while off-duty, the sources said.
Such establishments are typically banned for being breeding grounds for corruption and graft, including payoffs to cops for favors, or possibly having mob ties.
But Thomas Wolf, the general manager at Curves, insisted, "There's no corruption at this place. We've been here 17 years."
"The police don't like us because of an incident that occurred here about 10 years ago involving an off-duty cop," he said. "He got into an alcohol-related fight, went out to his car and fired on the building."
Asked about his club being on the NYPD's corruption list, Wolf added, "They do that to any club that they have a problem with."

Linden Police Capt. James Sarnicki said he was not aware of the NYPD's prohibition of Curves for its officers. He said his own department doesn't have any regulation preventing its cops from going there.
Linden cop Pedro Abad Jr., 27, left the club with his buddies early Friday after a hard night of partying and drove the wrong way on the West Shore Expressway, plowing into an 18-wheeler.

The wreck flattened his tiny Honda Civic, killing two passengers: fellow cop Frank Viggiano and friend Joseph Rodriguez, both 28.
Abad and his partner, Officer Patrik Kudlac, 23, were both pulled from the wreckage alive, but critically injured. Both men are fighting for their lives at Staten Island hospitals.
Each of the three cops had less than six years on the job, according to Linden police officials.
The trucker, Brandon Lee Getz, 33, tried to swerve his big rig out of the path of the wayward sedan, but smashed into them, authorities have said. He suffered only minor injuries.
Hours before the crash, Abad and his entourage were living it up at a Roselle, NJ, sports bar, where they devoured sushi and posted a photo of a round of shots Abad identified on his Instagram page as "Jack Daniel's Fire."
The men later drove to Staten Island and spent several hours at the strip club before embarking on their ill-fated ride home.
